The Rhetoric of Channeled Texts

Channeling, or communication between an individual
and a non-physical source, has been reported
throughout history and continues to be reported in
current times. While channeling was initially deemed
a religious phenomenon, it gradually became a
countercultural and spiritual phenomenon. With this
shift, channeling grew in popularity and became a
clearly recognizable genre. This book provides an
investigation into the rise of channelers and
channeled texts. It also provides an in-depth
rhetorical analysis of the messages of ten
significant channelers from the past century.
